After sending this mail I've just realized I don't know exactly which
are the needed semantics...
what happens if you have several unthrown exceptions in the block, does
it throw every one of them? in sequence? autothreading? what happens if
one CATCH handles one of the exception but only an outer CATCH handles
the other?
I'm not sure there is a sane way of having several unthrown exceptions
at the same block, so I think the best thing we can do is to throw the
first unthrown exception if a second exception happens...
meaning... if $! is already set with an unhandled exception that
exception is thrown. If that happens to be a resumable exception, the
code can be resumed and the other exception will be stored in $! for a
later evaluation.
Moritz suggested on IRC (in different words) that, as Match objects
can do the Associative role, that maybe Exception objects could do the
associative role as well. That would mean that we would retain $!, but would
still have the others there, just as $/ is the most recent Match, but can also
be a container of matches.
That doesn't answer your question about how to handle multiple
exceptions, though :).
